Genesis

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food pleasing to the eye and also desirable for gaining wisdom she took some and ate it she also gave some to her husband who was with her and he ate it then the eyes of both of them were open they realized they were naked so they sewed fig leaves together to make coverings for themselves.

Now I need the sisters to holler at your pastor so that all the brothers in the room can hear you.

Last week I taught you to give a brother some credit this week I want to teach us to help a sister out.

I want every sister in the house to say help a sister out.

Help a sister out

Our foundational text today is housed within a particular book of the Bible called The Book of Genesis.

Everybody say Genesis.

The word Genesis means beginning.

There for the content that is contained in this book is content that exposes us to the beginning of a number of things we see the beginning of the world and we also see the beginning of the creation of the human race.

The text The Narrative records that God over a Six-Day.

Incrementally creates the world as we know it now those six days.

I don't want you to miss after every day he created something he pauses to evaluate what he creates and calls it good.

He does it on the 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th day on the 6th day he creates his most prized possession Adam.

But when he looks at Adam he says it's not good for man to be alone.

In other words, he's suggesting not that Adam needs company because Adam had animals in the garden and they also had God in the garden.

When God says it's not good for man to be alone his saying that Adam cannot accomplish the assignment he was cosmically created for independent of some assistance.

This brother need some help.

So he puts him to sleep, he becomes the first anesthesiologist and performs surgery as he becomes the first surgeon and reaches into the womb of man and pulls out a rib and then Fashions a womb man and presents her to Adam and Adam looks at her and says, this is bone of my bone Flesh of My Flesh therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh and what God has joined together let no man put asunder.

Im’ma call you Eve.

Adam names her Eve.

This is important because when God creates Eve he says these words let me make a suitable helper for the man.

So the purpose for the creation of the woman is to be a helper.

When a woman walks in the room, help just walked in the room.

I need a sister to find another sister and high five her and say help is here.

Yeah, when a woman walks in the room help walks in the room.

You've been created a psychological, physiological, anatomically to be a helper.

You got the instinct to help, it's just in you, it's embedded in your individuality.

At times you have to restrain yourself from helping in areas where it's not your business to help.

Some of your mother's walk stores and you see other people who can't handle their kids and you have to tap yourself on the hand say leave those kids alone those are not your kids cuz internally you suggest I just need 3 minutes with them I can straighten them all the way up please let me help you with them you've got you got the instinct to help.

You've been wired to work and that is a beautiful blessing to those of us that benefit from it but it has the potential to become a problem for you because the same instinct that enables you to discern and to meet needs is the same instant that can cause you to be so obsessed with the needs of others that you don't properly tend to the needs of yourself.

Because you’ve been wired to help and this means you have a proclivity, you've got a propensity, you got a tendency to always put everybody else first.

You don't even eat first.

You spent all the time cooking but you're insuring the others eat first.

You think others first.

That's right is admirable but if it is not balanced with a Biblical perspective that separates being selfish from being a good Steward, you will end up tending to others to the neglect of yourself.

Violating a spiritual law of the Kingdom because the kingdom works on giving and receiving.

Whenever you just give and never receive eventually you're going to be operating out of a deficit because you have broken a spiritual law.

Listen to me, when you break spiritual laws the laws you break break you.

When you are constantly and consistently giving yourself to people who do not have the maturity to properly discern the selfless sacrifice that you are making toward them you're going to ultimately end up overwhelmed exhausted and overworked and unproductive because the law is being violated.

That's why you have to be so discern regarding who you choose to bring into your space and bring into your life, y'all aren't talking to me.

You gotta be so Discerning because it takes a mature mind to properly perceive when they got something good because the immature man is infected with entitlement and whenever someone has an attitude of entitlement they cannot properly appreciate what you're giving them because they feel like it's owed to them.

They treat it like a right instead of treating it like a privilege.

I want a sister who knows your Worth to point at yourself and say this is a privilege.

I'm not perfect but I'm a privilege.

I don't have it all together but I'm a privilege.

When you get me you can more than a trophy, when you getting me you getting a ride or die chick.

I'm saying because you're wired this way the helper need some help.

Somebody say help a sister out.

I don't just need help because of the inner me, the helper also needs help because of the enemy.

Because if you look at the the enemy if you look at the creation narrative you will notice that Adam was created first but Eve was attacked first.

Am I right that Satan didn't show up until he showed up?

Satan didn't come for Adam he came for Eve.Why did he come to Eve?

If he said if I get the help I don't have to get the one who needs to help.

If I get the one that's holding everything together, if I get the one that everybody else is leaning on I don't have to get the ones that leaning.

This why this is why you have always had a Target on your back from the adversary.

He wants to break you down because when you break down things break down.

Did you hear me?

He wants to break you down because when you break down things break down so our sister need some help.

I want somebody in the room to say help a sister out.

Watch this if you would have been properly help things would not have turned out in the garden the way they turned out.

What do you mean you?

Genesis chapter 3 verse number 6 you see something I think is extremely significant most of us when we imagine the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden we envision Eve eating the fruit by herself she's alone she's by herself where's Adam?

Adam not around, Adam is with the animals.

When you read verse 6 you see it says when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food a blessing to the eyes and also desirable for gaining wisdom she took some and ate it and she also gave some to her husband watch what the writer says who was with her.

Adam Was Not absent, he was present and so often we focus on the man who are absent but we don't focus on the ones who a present but silent.

Adam didn't say anything.

He didn't help and there and their sisters who are suffering cuz Adam isn’t helping.

Daughters who are suffering cuz Daddy isn’t helping.

Wife’s that are suffering because the husband isn’t helping.

I hear you I hear the brothers I hear you screaming Pastor I am helping, I am helping, I'm not saying you aren't helping but it's not your activity it's your accuracy.

You got to have more than good intentions you got to be accurate.

We're learning how to treat women from everybody but women you're not talking to me and so we trust our sources are we looking to our fathers and we're looking the other men in my life and we trust them as a credible Source because we think the information they're sharing with us it's accurate.

So I got to learn what kind of help she needs I got to begin by asking Eve.

Okay how can I help you?

But men are wired to make request not offer assistance.

Can I as opposed to How can I? I'm secure enough to know I don't know but if you teach me how to help you.

If you if you teach me how to help you you'll never have to teach me again.

You gotta ask Eve but you can't stop with asking Eve.

I'm going to tell you a secret I'm going to say it low so that the women can't hear us.

Eve don't always know what she won't either.Yeah let me go to this side over here since you can't just stop with Eve because Eve will confuse you.

I need you to talk to me don't talk to me.

I need you to come over here stay away from me.

You don't hug me I'm a need some space.

Which one do you want?

I want to both I just don't know what I want today.

I need a sister that's honest enough to say I know I'm a mess I'm up I'm down sometimes I want you in my face sometimes I want you to leave me alone.

Sisters, we cannot read your mind because when we read one page you turn it.

When I read your mind you turn the page.

I'm on one chapter you on another.

So you got to ask Eve but you can't stop with Eve.

So we got to ask the maker so the Bible says it is he that has made us not we ourselves so let's I'm not an expert on this so I to go to the maker.

RC sproul's says this I can't read God's mind but I can read God's word.

So the word gives us several ways to help Eve.

for the benefit of brevity just want to give you five real quick.

Number one Eve needs attention.

Eve needs attention.

Maybe Adam was present but maybe he wasn't even paying attention.So you have a daughter are you paying attention?

Is she sad, is she happy?

How’s she doing in school?
